i'm sure they will fit any plans on the axles? 37x13's will eat a D30 and C8.25 for lunch the first time you actually wheel.

ill guess ill just have to become a master at replacing axles and ujoints. i dont really have the money to do much with the axles. plus theres no rocks or anything like that in jersey mainly mud and water and thats just less strenuous wheelin. maybe later down the road ill get a chromoly shaft upgrade in the front and maybe swap in a d44 or 8.8 out back

Yep, you take apart your stock ones and put the AAL in and it pushes the main leaf up and producing lift, but make sure your stock springs are in good shape if you use this. Any amount of sag will subtract from the overall lift you will get (if sagging 1" and you do a 3" AAL you will only get about 2" of lift) AAL don't last as long as full packs, consider all of these before you purchase.
Good luck!

What are the odds i need a tcase drop, I know it varies rig to rig but I just wanna know if I should buy it before hand or not, and what can I use as a coil spring compressor? I heard ratchet straps but that sounds really sketchy...
